Fix &str printing in Rust

Printing a string slice ("&str") in Rust would print until the
terminating \0; but that is incorrect because a slice has a length.
This fixes &str printing, and arranges to preserve the type name when
slicing a slice, so that printing a slice of an "&str" works as well.

gdbserver/libthread_db: Don't ignore memory reading failures

If we had this in place before, then the regression fixed by the
previous commit would have been been visible is all test runs.  E.g.:

  Running src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.threads/multi-create-ns-info-thr.exp ...
  FAIL: gdb.threads/multi-create-ns-info-thr.exp: continue to breakpoint 6

Debugging manually we'd see this:
  gdbserver: Cannot get thread handle for LWP 1467: generic error

Instead of:
  gdbserver: PID mismatch!  Expected 27472, got 27471

which is misleading - gdbserver didn't 27471, that was stale stack

Commit 8629910955a7 ("Add thread_db_notice_clone to gdbserver")
introduced calls into libthread_db without making sure that the
current thread is pointing to a know-stopped thread.  This resulted in
sometimes thread_db_notice_clone failing->find_one_thread failing like
this, as seen when running gdb.threads/multi-create-ns-info-thr.exp:

~~~
  Thread <6> executing

  gdbserver: Cannot find thread after clone.

Skip the PR 14918 linker test for ARM targets.

 I am applying a patch that has been lying around in the Fedora
  binutils sources for a while.  It skips the PR14918 linker test for
  ARM based targets.  This test checks that libgcc is not included in a
  link of an empty executable.  This works for most targets, but on the
  ARM the crt1.o startup code calls __libc_csu_init which is in
  /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a(elf-init.oS).  This in turn needs
  __aeabi_unwind_cpp_pr0@@GCC_3.5 which is provided by libgcc_s.so.1,
  and so the test fails.

Complete tdep move to convert_typed_floating

Many tdep files need to perform conversions between two floating-point
types, usually when accessing FP registers.  Most targets now use the
convert_typed_floating helper routine to do so.  However, a small number
still use the old method of converting via a DOUBLEST.  Since we want
to get rid of DOUBLEST, these targets need to be moved to the new
method as well.

The main obstacle is that for convert_typed_floating we need an actual
*type*, not just a floatformat.

In arm-tdep.c, this is very straightforward, since there is already a
type using the ARM extended floatformat.

For sh-tdep.c and sh64-tdep.c, no such type already exists, so I've
added one to the gdbarch_tdep struct as done on other targets.

Simplify floatformat_from_type

For historical reasons, the TYPE_FLOATFORMAT element is still set to hold
an array of two floatformat structs, one for big-endian and the other for
little-endian.  When accessing the element via floatformat_from_type,
the code would check the type's byte order and return the appropriate
floatformat.

However, these days this is quite unnecessary, since the type's byte order
is already known at the time the type is allocated and the floatformat is
installed into TYPE_FLOATFORMAT.  Therefore, we can just install the correct
version here.

Also, moves the (now trivially simple) floatformat_from_type accessor to
gdbtypes.{c,h}, since it doesn't really need to be in doublest.c now.

Make init_type/arch_type take a size in bits

This changes the interfaces to init_type and arch_type to take the
type length in bits as input (instead of as bytes).  The routines
assert that the length is a multiple of TARGET_CHAR_BIT.

For consistency, arch_flags_type is changed likewise, so that now
all type creation interfaces always use length in bits.

All callers are updated in the straightforward manner.

The assert actually found a bug in read_range_type, where the
init_integer_type routine was called with a wrong argument (probably
a bug introduced with the conversion to use init_integer_type).
